Segmentation Failure of the base card.

Question

I installed the basemap using

conda install basemap

I can import using

import mpl_toolkits.basemap as bm

but a challenge

bm.Basemap(projection='robin',lon_0=0.0,lat_0=0.0)

or any other projection, I get a “segmentation error”

I am running Fedora in the following versions:

Python 3.4.2 | Anaconda 2.1.0 (64-bit) IPython 2.2.0 matplotlib 1.4.2 basemap 1.0.7 numpy 1.9.1

Thanks for any help and suggestions you have.

I just solved this error. This was caused by the mixed geo network version installed on my system. The error disappeared after uninstalling the entire geos installation and reinstalling the latest version.
